MEASURING FORCES Main Idea: Elastic materials can be used to measure force. Pg. 14 of IAN

Elastic Materials You can use an when pulling or pushing an object, and measure how far it elastic material STRETCHES The Tools To Use: (use handout) List the effect of the force in each picture. Then tell how you would use the effect to measure the force amount.

b)Effect: To Measure Force: c)Effect: To Measure Force: d)Effect: To Measure Force: e)Effect: To Measure Force: a. Effect:Weight moves down. To Measure Force: How far rubber band stretches

Newton (N): after Isaac Newton. Unit of force. One Newton is equal to the amount of force needed to move 100 grams of mass.

OUTPUT: MAKING A FORCE METER Materials: cup hook, cardboard tube, wooden dowel, paper clips, rubber bands, masking tape/pen. 1.Place a piece of tape on the wood. 2.Calibrate the force meter: a) attach the spring scale to the force meter. b) hold the spring scale still while pulling the cardboard tube until the spring scale reads 1 N. Pg. 13 IAN

c)Draw a line at the end of the cardboard tube ON THE TAPE (this is the 1 N line). d)Pull slightly harder until the spring scale reads 2 N. Draw the line. e)Repeat until you reach 15 N.

USING THE FORCE METER Measure the force needed to lift the following objects: 500 gram mass: _____ N 2 pound weight:_____ N book with string: ____ N

QUESTIONS 1.What is a Newton? 2.How many Newtons of force does it take to lift: a.100 grams?, b.200 grams?, c.400 grams?, d.450 grams?, e.750 grams?.
